Nathuram Godse was an RSS member: Pawan Khera
Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera has revealed that a grand-nephew of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the guru of Nathuram Godse, has claimed in a Pune court that Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, was a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Khera's statement, made on X, came as the RSS has long disowned Godse. The Congress leader believes that this revelation will eventually hurt the RSS.
The debate over Godse's alleged affiliation with the RSS is intensifying. In 1948, Godse assassinated Gandhi and was subsequently tried and executed in 1949. Recently, the Supreme Court quashed a defamation complaint against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, which stemmed from his remarks during the 2022 Bharat Jodo Yatra.
